Li Ji tiptoed out, quickly took a bath, shed his blood-spattered clothes, and changed into a set of clean, comfortable everyday robes.
He dried his hair, preparing to go back to the room to be with Manman.
Gao Shan came rushing up.
"Your Highness, the General of the Brave Cavalry is here to see you."
Li Ji asked casually, "What's he here for?"
Gao Shan replied, "I hear it's about the rebellion."
Li Ji had no patience for such matters.
"What does this have to do with me? Tell him to go cool his heels somewhere else."
Gao Shan said quickly, "He also mentioned the Fourth Prince."
Li Ji stopped in his tracks.
He remembered the Fourth Prince had always coveted Manman. Even though she was married, the prince still hadn't given up on his designs.
'I need to keep a close eye on this man,' Li Ji thought.
So, he changed his mind on the spot and decided to see Bian Ziming.
